    RIP Powell. I would have been happy to vote for him if he had ran for WH

    Weird seeing the Alt-Right high-fiving over his death because he was vaccinated.

    ... but these mRNA jabs don't have the virus in them, correct??

    Additionally, you are ignoring the existence of the innate immune system. There is more to the immune system as as whole than the adaptive immune system.

    So Colin Powell's cause of death was something other than COVID (as in, whatever caused his immune system to become compromised)?

    See above.

    They also have very widespread use of ivermectin as a prophylactic and as an early treatment.

    That's because unlike 99.9% of
    gov't serving Black persons
    elected or appointed,
    Powell was primarily an American

    and in no way a Black Nationalist ala Obama, Waters et al

    What makes you think that a third shot of the same thing is going to work when two shots of it isn't working? Isn't that the definition of insanity?

    So that's the direction that the goalpost is going to move now??

    ** The vaccine will protect you from contracting COVID.
    ** The vaccine will prevent you from developing severe symptoms that require hospitalization.
    ** The vaccine will prevent you from developing severe symptoms that require hospitalization IF YOU GET A BOOSTER SHOT.

    Then, it'll be:
    ** The vaccine will prevent you from developing severe symptoms that require hospitalization IF YOU CONTINUOUSLY GET BOOSTER SHOTS EVERY SIX MONTHS.

    Apparently Person A's mask doesn't work unless Person B also wears a mask?? Apparently Person A's vaccine doesn't work unless Person B also gets vaccinated?? Next, Person A's mask and vaccine won't work unless Person B is barred from participating in society... It's already happening in Australia and other parts of the world, and it WILL creep here in short order if the movement doesn't get quelled yesterday.

    Yes.

    It's time that conservatives start using liberal tactics against them.

    FJB.

    Yes, Yulee thinks that even with wearing a mask and being double jabbed that he could still catch and die of COVID, thus admitting that the masking and jabbing methods are not working. Thus, he has now moved the goalpost and thinks that a third jab is what will finally protect him. When that doesn't work, it will be a "continuous merry-go-round of jabs every six months" that will finally protect him. Then it will be a "banning of all unvaccinated people from society" that will finally protect him...

    Such people are blind to the truth and blind to the way of Jesus Christ.

    The bigger issue I have with Bush and Powell was we had Saddam contained. He was not a major threat at that time. We didn’t need to start a war that totally destabilized Iraq, which led to Isis and made the Middle East even worse to this day. One of the worst decisions, mistakes,, fraud, whatever you want to call it. I consider W. Bush and anyone who assisted him as failures.

    Even setting aside the vaccine not working, he's basically a black Arlen Specter. Why is that weird?

    Sucks, but apparently the vaxx didn’t work. When the dem party actually existed they would question things like that.

    Do you realize that you are now officially on record as outright denying the existence of the innate immune system?

    I can't argue with that. From what I've seen of Colin he does appear to have been a neocon supporting the endless wars and nation building. GWB had said prior to his election that he opposed nation building but then surrounded himself with way too many neocons. Starting back-to-back wars and then trying to rebuild both countries was a fool's errand.

    If the training is stupid, folks die. Most common problem with folks who design training. And folks are still dying. Those are the facts.

    Folks always forget Iran had warehouses full of chemical weapons, which they actually used against their neighbors, Kurds, and their own people. For some reason, folks against Bush forgot that chemical weapons are part of the category of WMDs. I think it's feigned because they believe in their ability to redefine words at their convenience.

    Perhaps. The experts in the Xiden group don't seem to be very expert. The media are even worse. And folks are still dying while vaccinated. That appears to be the thing the lefty crowd are going to have to start explaining really soon as their fanatical lockdowns threaten around the nation.

    Perhaps the edited version that is now out there. But the para pertaining the vaccination status wasn't initially there, which is why literally the world attacked CNN for the omission.

    Nothing works 100% of the time. If you are 85 and you have cancer and covid, then all bets are off. No idea what you mean by Specter.

    Don't you think it would be beyond foolish to stop the vaccines because a 85 yr old cancer patient died of complications.

    Its has been mentioned on every article talking about his death.

    It is NOTHING like the flu shot. It makes use of a completely different mechanism.

    It appears to me that the COVID jabs aren't working, at least not nearly as well as initially touted.

    Same here. I have strong immunity (both innate and adaptive). I haven't had the flu since early last decade. --- I can't even seem to contract COVID either, let alone flu. I've been trying my darndest by not masking, not socially distancing, not avoiding gatherings, etc, to no avail. Hopefully I've been naturally exposed to COVID by now, for adaptive immune system purposes, but who knows (since I've never had any symptoms).

    IOW, you have faith that it helps. Fine by me.
